The dates are approximated, accounting for differences in calculating times, and times of events. Bible believing scholars do not always agree on some things.
If you find an obvious error, contact me. I try to be accurate with the facts. Use my promiselander@yahoo.com email or message me on FB.
Do not bother to write about discrepancies among scholars, I am already aware of that problem. This is not intended to be an exhaustive commentary; it is only a study help.
